Everything in the shot chart in the first quarter was underneath the basket. Maybe they were a little bit more physical than we were at the start of the game or maybe we didn't box out as well as we normally do.

What you're seeing is a little bit of an economic stall, maybe in the fourth quarter and the first quarter.

They shot 57 percent in the first half and in the second half, every big basket that they had to have, we had a defensive breakdown. I don't think we were mentally or physically sharp tonight and as a result Elon, a club that's been kind of laying in wait ... coming in fresh, shoots the ball well and gets out of here with a win.

I don't know who scored on the first penalty shot but I know Kovalev a little bit and I know he has everything, a good shot and he can deke. Like I said before the season, during the season you win a few shootouts, you lose a few shootouts. Of course it's disappointing. There's nothing I can do. It's over, they scored a few goals.

Salisbury couldn't have shot it any better in the first quarter. But we finally got over that initial burst, and I give my kids a lot of credit for withstanding it.

I just have confidence in myself to get my shot off. I just zero in on the basket. If they block it, they block it. And I'll play the next play.
